Has anyone got a script that synchronizes gmail contacts with Pocomail? I have been looking at the Google API and thinking it must be possible, but I don't have the time to learn and then do it myself.

What I want to achieve is to complete the trio: I have contacts syncing between my Blackberry and Gmail. I just need it to sync with Poco as well.

I was looking at Thunderbird as an alternative, as there's an extension for that. But TB does not yet have an extension that automatically changes the respond-from address based on the incoming To address, which means it's a hassle to remember to set the right From address.

Other than that failing, I think TB looks very good. Trustedbird is also of interest. Does anyone know what the "downsides" of TB is when coming from Pocomail? I don't use any kind of advanced scripting - just filters.

There may be no automatic option to use a specific account in TB, but I don't see the issue as being that important.
When you reply, just click down the list of your accounts and choose which one you want to use.

Managing contacts seems (at least to me) much easier to manage with Thunderbird than Barca.

Syncing with GMail is almost a must these days.
Be it contacts or feeds...
